Semaglutide
 

What is Semaglutide?  Semaglutide is the generic name of Ozempic and Wegovy, both registered trademarks of Novo Nordisk, a Denmark-based global pharmaceutical company.

​

​

Patents protect Ozempic and Wegovy. How is it possible for them to make a "generic"? Yes, but due to a worldwide shortage of brand medicine related to the manufacturing of the patented injection pen technology in the face of unprecedented demand, the US government allows the manufacturing and distribution of generic versions. 

​

​

There are many internet-based "clinics" and spas offering Semaglutide. How did you choose your source? We chose this source for two reasons: The biopharmaceutical company that manufactures the Semaglutide is cGMP compliant, meaning the manufacturing standards meet the FDA's stringent requirements, especially for peptides. The second factor is the choice of a licensed pharmacy to compound and ship sterile injectables to California. Compared to the rest of the United States, California has the highest standards regarding compounding sterile injectables and peptides; this is why, even within the state, very few pharmacies have licenses to compound sterile injectables.

​

​

 Why is the Semaglutide compounded with vitamin B12? From a legal perspective, compounding pharmacies often combine two or more agents to differentiate their products from the commercial or branded version. However, combining Semaglutide with B12 is highly beneficial for various reasons. B12 is essential for metabolism, fat burning, energy, and nerve function. The majority of Americans have low or suboptimal levels. A large segment of this population has gastrointestinal conditions that prevent optimal dietary or oral supplemental B12 absorption; it is why so many people get weekly B12 shots! Accordingly, combining B12 with semaglutide not only optimizes B12 levels but also amplifies its efficacy in weight reduction. You would no longer need to take B12 supplements while you are on this combination.
